Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe on the net where you pick and chose your stories from the headline, but TV-Cable-Print news have not gone away just yet.

Each of those is still equipped with an off switch or can be put down. There's a galactic-shit-ton of bad food out there, but I'm still in charge of what I put in my mouth.

People don't do that, not human nature to shut off the news if an unpleasant story pops up. You extol possibilities, I describe realities.
Go forth, climb the highest peak, plant the banner of civility... you won't even make the 6 o'clock news.
Oh, you went where the wild things are. That's nice, this will pay the rent, how?

I stopped watching televised news altogether. Never see it. I got real tired real quick of the newsmouth telling me how and what to think about each and every story, or not reporting the story at all if they couldn't figure a way to skew it toward their agenda. I only listen to my local AM radio noon news, almost daily, read by a marble-mouthed fuck who is an embarrassment to our community.

I read my news mostly from YahooNews (yeah, I know). Where I can pick and choose what I read.

Hey now, we're talking about normal people here, not us.
